							Triple filter system
The triple filter system in the base of the
wash cabinet prevents food from being
redeposited on dishes. It also protects
the circulation pump from damage
caused by foreign objects (e.g. broken
glass, bones). During normal use, the
filter system is self-cleaning.
The machine must not be used
without all the filters in place!
Check and clean the filter system
periodically for any trapped or
foreign objects.
The level of soiling and time it takes
before the filters need cleaning will vary
depending on your household usage.
Turn off the dishwasher before
cleaning.Turn the handle counterclockwise to
release the triple filter system.
Lift the filter combination out of the
machine. Remove any solid
particles and rinse under running
water. Scrub with a nylon brush if
necessary.

							Cleaning the water inlet filter
A filter is incorporated into the intake
hose attached to the dishwasher’s shut
off valve. If your water is hard or the
pipes contain sediment, this filter may
clog and prevent enough water from
entering the wash cabinet.
The plastic housing of the water
connection contains electrical
wiring.
Do not cut the intake hose or
submerge it in liquid.
Installing an in-line water filter
If your water contains a large number of
insoluble substances, a filter between
the water valve and the intake hose
connection is recommended. These
filters can be purchased from Miele.
Cleaning the filter
Turn off the dishwasher and pull the
plug.

Turn off the water supply.

Unscrew the intake hose.Carefully remove the rubber seal.
Remove the filter using needle nose
pliers and rinse it under running
water.
Reinsert the filter and seal. Make sure
they are seated correctly.
Screw the intake hose back on the
